Stil around

[wirehair]

Just an update:
Legs all gone, can't get out of bed, or do anything without being first placed into chair with hoyer lift (a device to lift 250 lbs. of dead meat- that would be me). Left arm pretty ded, right arm on the way. Can't cut food, that means prime rib is off my diet, luckily I made a trip to lawry's just before I went over the edge. A 48 oz piece of meat, that's the way to finish that part. one of the worst things is inability to scratch about any itch, need a big-twitted blonde on standby. Ain't gonna happen.

Now for the bad news, wasn't able to open the bottle of Gatorade his AM, so I was forced to pour a couple inches of corn whiskey into a glass instead. This sn't ordinary corn whiskey, made from toasted blue corn. About the best corn whiskey ever, but since a bottle of this stuff cots more than a bottle of Crown Black, not a good buy. Mixed with ginger ale it's acceptable, so I find myself drinking whiskey & ginger at 10AM. THROUGH A STRAW!

This PM a buddy will drop by & bring a beer supply so my inventory will be updated, since I was down to one Shiner, just in time. We'll probably sit out by the pool and wipe out that corn juice with a cigar.

Another really good thing, I get special treatment at the ballpark, park across the street, bring my own chair, and seem to have no problems getting tickets - very handy for sellouts. This has made me a very popular person to go to the ballpark with, and the Rangers are really kicking ass!

Guys, don't worry about me, I'll be OK, got at least a year left. Not gonna fool with a vent when can't breath any more, So I will disappear some day. But none of us will get out of this life alive.

I don't know how you manage to put a funny twist on your situation, but I do admire you.

Thanks for the update, and hopefully your condition doesn't worsen. I wish i could watch baseball more often at the ball park.

It's good to hear from you wire.

I wish I could have a drink with you.

Did you happen to make the game where Hamilton hit all those homeruns?

 

[anonymous golfaholic]

Now that I think about it...I don't think Hamilton had that big game at home. The guy is stud either way.

Well, Clark and AG said it best so what more can I say? Good to hear from you!

 

[VtDivot]

You are my hero...

 

[MCDavis]

Wire, I've said it before: I really think the world of you, and I admire the way you do things.

But jeez...quit your whining! Do you have any idea how many days I wish I could start my morning off drinking whiskey and ginger?!?

What cigars are you smoking now? Had my last 2 Rocky Patel Vintage 1990's this week. Pretty good, but next time I'm going to get one of my "imports".

Thoughts and prayers, my friend...

Responses so far:
Clark: you can go to as many games as you want, just get of of your dead
ass and go.

AG: I refuse to acknowledge anyone who has a SL card icon. See you in Oct if your guys have got the goods.

VT: yes, tes I am, and a better hero can't be found.

MC: whining? You did read the part about adding ginger because the $50 whiskey was pony piss. I really don't know what I'm smoking, just roll through the cigar store and pick one of these, two of these, etc. I know them when I se them..

 

[eclark53520]

I will someday. At this point i'd rather spend that money on golf lessons for my daughter, and taking her fishing, as well as taking her to a couple games a season. It's a 2 hour or so ride one way to the ball park.

Likewise wirehair. You have real spirit bud.

I agree!

Yes, whining. At least you're drinking that early! By 10:00, I'm at work wishing I was drinking somewhere!

Cigars and Whiskey, I love it! Even though I much prefer bourbon and I never could get the taste for cigars even when I was a smoker.

Hero? Absolutely!

Wire, you would be ashamed of me. My MIL bought me a fancy cedar humidor last Christmas. So about a month or so ago I finally dropped the money to fill it. Also got some more Cubans from my buddy that frequents Mexico. Proud of my collection, I wanted to make sure everything was just right with the box. I got the humidity up around 70%...checked it a little over a week later and...MOLD. Every single cigar was ruined. Just north of $200...gone.

Mold (green), or plume (white)? If it brushes off, it's no problem.

You know...I think it's white...ish. I threw them all in a ziplock. I'll take a look when I get home from work.

What's the deal with plume?
